Chair of Governor's Letter
February 2014
Dear Applicant,
Thank you for your interest in
applying for the post of Head Teacher at Langton Green Primary School. We are
looking to fill the post from the beginning of September 2014.
Langton Green is a popular school
with strong parental support and aspirations. It has enthusiastic, well-behaved children, and experienced, innovative staff. It
is currently earmarked for expansion by the Local Authority, already having two
year groups with 60 children, and is planned to become a two form entry school
over the next few years; this will entail substantial physical expansion of the
school.
The Governors are looking for a
Head Teacher who can grasp the essence of the school, engage with the teachers
and articulate a credible vision for the future that will keep it at the
‘cutting edge’ of Primary Education, whilst maintaining and improving
standards.
Attached to this letter is a graphic
which picks out the aspects of the school that define its character; this will
hopefully give you an insight into who we are, and where we would like to go. I
also hope that it will give you the opportunity to tell us a little about how you
believe your strengths will be relevant to our school and how the post will benefit
your own career development.
For further information, I would
commend to you the school website (www.langton-green-school.org),
where you will get a further flavour of the school and will be able to download
documents such as the most recent Ofsted report.
I am sure that having decided to
apply, you will wish to visit the school and we would encourage this. To
arrange a visit please call the school office on 01892 862648.
The closing date for applications
is noon on the 24st March 2014. The selection process will take
place on the 2nd and 3rd of April.
Thank you very much for taking an
interest in this position, and we wish you every success with your application.
Yours Sincerely
Mark Gamble
Chair of Governors
Langton Green Primary School
